Sorry didn't realise you were comparing Bannan to Pirlo, although I can see were you are coming from. I was on about a midfielder who can beat 2 or 3 players and get into the box a bit like Gazza used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick a tenner to charity that 4 of those 5 will be in work in the next 12 months To be fair I think that's his point - all of these will be in work despite them being has beens. Only thing wrong with that logic is that none of those managers are has beens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably play Forestieri in that kind of role, though he might be a little too lightweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, our biggest 2 appointments in the past 30 years have been old and past it. Even Dave Jones had a massive effect with his stale and out of date footy. He really wasn't on the scrap heap. He left West Brom in a great position and was sacked at Atlētico due to a personality clash. What he bought back with him was innovative free kick routines and new ideas.

They're. Has-beens. Okay, thanks for clearing that up. Sounds like any manager who’s had more than one job is a has-been. Very peculiar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
